first edition Hardcover
1929 · New York
by Yates, Raymond Francis
New York: The Norman W. Henley Publishing Co, 1929. Hardcover. viii, 210p., + 36p catalog, frontispiece, preface, illustrated throughout with b&w photos, diagrams, plans and line drawings. Old ownership signature (of one Tom Ashton) on titlepage. First edition in green cloth boards, a sound copy with hinges in good shape and a square tight textblock; however, handling soil has darkened the spine panel and completely obliterated spine titling; also find edgewear with a touch of fraying to top and tail rims, and card peeks out at lower corner-tips. A better than 'reading copy'.
